"Should become obligatory reading for any ethicist, politician or
jurist who focuses on end-of-life decision making."Medicine, Health Care, and Philosophy, 2008

"The report bears three intriguing strengths: (1) The ethical
argumentation is impressively clear, consistent and convincing...
(2) The ethical argumentation is backed up by constant references
to recent legal cases and decisions and to the latest legislation.
(3) The structure of the book is highly transparent, the style is
clearly written and easy to read, and throughout the whole book the
reader is spoiled with precise summaries of the main arguments and
theses. Due to these strengths, the BMA guidance paper not only
provides a comprehensive overview of the legal position in
Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland and advances the
debate by clear ethical arguments in those areas that are not
addressed by the present law. It also serves as a role model for
other European countries which seem to fall far behind such an
elaborated position paper and where doctors still muddle through
the complexity of end-of-life decision-making in everyday clinical
life...

... The BMA report should become an obligatory reading for any
ethicist, politician or jurist who focuses on end-of-life decision
making and serves as a helpful guidance for any doctor concerned
with decisions about life-prolonging treatments in clinical life" -
